Twelve Gates
01:00
|
|||
Some say there are twelve gates to reach madness
Anyone can reach them anytime anywhere
It is just a matter of how you use those gates
To express the deepest desires of your soul
Twelve gates upon which we can express our essence
Twelve notes upon which we can resonate our insanity
Twelve imperfect frequencies to show
The greatest imperfections of humanity
After all this is the sound of human nature
This is the calling of the mad

Reinventing Life
03:36
|

Read the words
Sounds like glass
Shatters the night
He screams he’s found success
Reinventing life
Reviving long dead flesh
By candle light
By candle light till the morning
He feels like a god
Oh no here comes the morning
The madness in his head
It takes control
No longer just a man
A God he's reborn
Sunrise they find him dead
A grin on his face
No one was there to revive him
The secret is lost
He shared with no one his findings

Shades Of I
06:03
|
|||
Born this way
To mother's dismay
I was different as child
She could tell
I was not well
Something wrong deep inside
Through the years
She tamed my fears
Chased away the apparitions
Now she's gone
I cannot carry on
Trapped by my own indecision
I'm lost in the haze
Nothing is real
Only the voices encouraging me
I'm lost in the maze
I cannot feel
Feelings suppressed when they medicate me
I'm being deceived
Everyone's lying
My paranoia takes over I scream
And I'm certain to die
If I don't leave
Only escape brings salvation it seems
Day by day
They take my thoughts away
Needles to calm and sedate
I lay in bed the people in my head
All the while plan my escape
As days go by the people multiply
And while I sleep they are awake
The medicines do not affect them
As I am but one of them
I shades of i
Shades of me
Dealing with
Anger
I'm multiplied
By me
Multiplicity
I cannot run
I now must face the gun
I must put the voices down
Before they speak
And again make me weak
Their evil whispers I must drown
Society it has no place for me
They do not care to understand
For in their eyes
People like me must die
And i'll oblige by my own hand

Portals
02:45
|
|||
Pages crumble into dust
I can barely read the last line
I have now pronounced the words
I have opened doorways to the stars
from across the void it calls to me
Visions from so many worlds
Infinite in all their glory
Sound takes form and cold to touch
Deafening it tells a story
All at once, I lose myself
The time is almost near

Thief Profane
05:05
|
|||
There is no answer to my scream
I am awake inside my dream
Lucid unable to control
Details fading into smoke
Knocked unconscious I was home
Reading then the lights went out
Somewhere deep inside my memory
Clue to who assaulted me
Now awake, still can't recall
I hear footsteps down the hall
All my secrets and my notes
All were stolen by a ghost
Heaven help us
The truth is out there
Must not be seen
By human eyes
Lest the world be
Lost forever
To the Nameless
Ones that come at night
Now I must invoke the dark
To set ablaze the Stone
That points the way to the thief profane
His whereabouts now known
I have found you blasphemer
How dare you steal from me
You dabble in magic beyond
Your sad stupidity
I banish you beyond the realms
Of human space and time
Where echoes in eternity
Will tear apart your mind
My most precious treasure
Notes of spells profane
And secret locations
Of amulets arcane
You knew you were unworthy
Still you tried in vain
Now you must bear the punishment
Of a thief profane
Oy las voces
Calling out your name
Chamam seu nome

To Travel Beyond
05:20
|
|||
Grind you bones into dust
Holy man
My blood covered in sacred Salem rust
Shaman
Pierce your chest and pull out your heart
It begins
Heed no warnings from the
Key of Solomon
This is what you wanted
This is what you craved
To give in to the darkness
To become a slave
This is what you needed
This is what you want
To be one with the spirit
To travel beyond
Mark the floor with blood from your eyes
Tetragram
That you may see beyond the lies
Lies of man
Place your tongue in the chalice
They await
Cut it out no words needed
Consecrate
This is what you wanted
This is what you craved
To become a master
First must be a slave
It requires devotion
And a sacrifice
To set events in motion
You must give your life
Incantation time and space give way
To reveal
Gates of time between both night and Day
Break the Seal
Step right through your destiny calls
Glacier throne
God of time you are now one with all
All Alone
This is what you wanted
This is what you craved
To become a God
To remove the chains
Gave your humanity
To know and see it all
And now you are truly free
To be nothing at all

Yemanja
02:43
|
|||
I'm a brazilian in Louisiana
Lost on my journey through the night
I light a candle to Yemanja
Ask her to guide my steps in light
I am a stranger in this land
I offer a white rose in her name
Color of light blue in my hand
And crystalline beads that bear her name
Deep in the bayou now I pray
That she is here by my side
Helping me navigate my way
Goddess please in my soul reside
Somehow I am not afraid
For I can hear familiar sounds
Drums that pulse music that sways
Could it be kindred spirits abound?
Similar rhythms fill the air
Just like the ones I heard at home
People that dance without a care
Suddenly I am not alone
Goddess you listened to this man
Helped me amid this human sea
You took me to the promised land
Led me to people just like me

Surveillance State
05:30
|
|||
Watch what you say
What what you do
Their looking your way
Coming for you
Tapping your phone
Watching your screen
Checking to see if you're being obscene
Surveillance State
It's already too late
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Brought to you by the
Intel inside
Searches are logged
Flagged and filed
Pose for the camera
Give us a smile
Protests not working
They know our location
How can they locate us
Oh god turn the phones off now
Up in the Sky
Look at the drones
Looking at me
Follow me home
What do they see
What do they hear
They read every thought my biggest fear
Here they are now
Inside my home
Won't leave me be
Won't leave me alone
Inside my fridge
Under my bed
Behind the stove
Inside my head
Que encontraran dentro de mi
Dentro mis celulas ya viven ahi
Dime que puede uno hacer
Contra todo este maldito poder
No tiene caso
Pelear el estado
Ellos te localizan
Despues te fucilaran

Die As You Will
05:23
|

There he lies immobilized in bed
Who knows what desperate thoughts
Dwell within his head
All that he can hope for now is merciful release
Victim of a crippling incurable disease
Hypotensive episode
Everyone we have a code
Grab the crash cart and run
Fight for life has begun
Ask the family to leave
They cannot be witness to this
Make sure they all stay naive
Shield their eyes from sternums caving
Compressions to circulate
Ribs they start to give and crack
Prepare now to intubate
We managed to bring him back
Pressure starts to normalize
See the glazed look in his eyes
Almost asking us all why
We refuse to let him die
There he lies blackened from his limbs
Side effect of using Levophed
Family is happy as can be
Quality of life be damned is what they believe
This guy over here doesn't look too good
Lets take a look at the monitor
Am I mistaken that's looking like QT interval prolongation
Has anybody done a mag level on this guy lately?
Never mind he's going into torsades let's go
Hypotensive episode
Everyone we have a code
Grab the crash cart and run
Fight for life has begun
Ask the family to leave
They cannot be witness to this
Make sure they all stay naive
Shield their eyes from sternums caving
Compressions to circulate
Ribs they start to give and crack
Prepare now to intubate
We managed to bring him back
Pressure starts to normalize
See the glazed look in his eyes
Almost asking us all why
We refused to let him die
This is Mr. Smith he is an 89 year old male
History of CAD, CHF, CVA, and Parkinson's
He has a triple lumen pic line peg tube
fecal management system
Wound vac and dialysis cath non responsive
With multiple stage 2 and 3 ulcers
And a stage 4 ulcer to his sacrum
He has a trach and is on a vent
And we are currently running a variety of
Vasopressors let me get the settings for you
Notice the multiple amputations
That's a side effect of some vasopressors
We used a while back to keep him alive
And of course he is a full code per family request
He will be with us a very very very very long time
